Kia Hamadani = Bubble Boy

The bubble has finally burst!

After being blinded and anted down over the past level, Kia Hamadani was finally all in for his 500-chip ante as Reed Hensel raised it up to 17,000 from the hijack position. Both blinds made the call.

The flop landed {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Hensel fired 20,000 to force folds from the two live players.

Incredibly, Hensel tabled an imaginative {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, perhaps to the dismay of the remaining 647 players in the room who wanted to burst this bubble. However they didn't need to worry as Hamadani could only find {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} in the hole as Hensel held the lead with his nine-high.

Hensel sealed the deal when the {9-Diamonds} spiked on the turn and followed it up with the {9-Spades} on the river to take down the pot.

Kia Hamadani is eliminated as the bubble boy as the Amazon Room exploded into a round of applause and cheers, as they are now officially in the money!

Hamadani was then introduced to the room as it was announced that he wouldn't quite go home empty-handed. The WSOP and Jack Link's have agreed to buy-in Hamadani into the 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event! Better luck next year!
